Yeah, net fragmentation is such a great idea! Maybe those freedom loving
folks at Adobe, Microsoft, or Oracle will decide to force their private
networking ideas down everyones throat so nothing will be discoverable
unless you use their product.

P.S. This has nothing to do with cloud computing, it could have been the
self-serving attention whores' upstream provider if the content was being
served out of your mother's basement.

You are right it isn't specifically tied up with cloud computing, but
Amazon itself kind of is. The content could be blocked by any upstream
provider if it were served behind any single provider - hence the need for
quality p2p services.

As for net fragmentation: I admit I'm more of a pessimist in that area
and think it's just a matter of time *if* we as a whole allow such big
corporations to exist and become even bigger. I'm sort of a Google fan but
I also think they have become too big and should be split up (as well as the
rest of the big ones).
